The First Open Source Contributor Summit

Contributing to open source can be challenging, especially when the first step for getting involved is unclear.

What is a contributor summit?

In partnership with Swimm, the Open Sauced community will hold a free and unique event focused on educating attendees about becoming contributors to open-source projects. The goal for this event is to bring the community together to get any context missing from the CONTRIBUTING.md files.

Learn directly from the maintainers of projects ways you can contribute during Hacktoberfest.

When is this happening?

This event kicks off with talks from maintainers and experts in the open-source on October 15th. It continues asynchronously via our community discord with workshops, Q&A, and discussions focused on getting folks involved in open source projects.

If this sounds like the event for you, RSVP on our Meetup page and come ready to learn.

Some of the projects represented during the event.

Welcome to Infection Monkey! We're glad you could swing by.🐒 Here's all the info you'll need to start monkeying around.

What is Infection Monkey?

Infection Monkey is an open-source adversary emulation platform that helps you improve your security posture using empirical data. The Monkey uses various methods to self-propagate across a network and reports its activities to a centralized command and control server known as the Monkey Island. 🐵🏝️ You know, like malware, but ✨safe.✨

How does it work?

Infection Monkey is comprised of two components:

  • Agent - A configurable network worm that can infect machines, steal data, and deliver payloads.
  • Monkey Island - A command and control server used to control and visualize Infection Monkey's progress throughout the simulation.
